Bug Description
This happened on both 7.04 and 7.10 Kubuntu.
If I run my computer with the Live CD, /proc/cpuinfo shows the correct core information. When the system gets installed, /proc/cpuinfo shows this...
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz

This is uname -a: Linux aseremote 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm running a SMP kernel, but the system only sees one core. Why it works with a Live CD and not installed is weird.
Are you sure this is a true dual core processor? Alot of Pentium D's just have hyper-threading which will show up as 2 processors in both windows and linux. Could you please issue the command in a terminal 'dmesg > dmesg.txt" and attach dmesg.txt to this bug report.
Thanks,
